A Closer Look At Strymon Delay Pedals

Strymon are regarded by many as the industry leader in pedal manufacturing, and particularly their delay units.

Man that guitar and that overdrive sound incredible! Definitely gonna have to check out some of the J Rocket stuff

[@DAB248]

Excellent Overview and very well presented

[@iangray7904]

Ive had loads of delays an honestly the DIG is up there with the best of them. fantastic pedal that works beautifully with gain.

[@scotthank806]

You prolly dont care but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@orionfranklin2636]

@Scott Hank instablaster :)

[@scotthank806]

@Orion Franklin Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@scotthank806]

@Orion Franklin It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account !

[@orionfranklin2636]

@Scott Hank no problem =)

[@gessopalena]

Very eloquently explained and demoed

[@massimos6863]

Great playing I have The Strymon DIG and have owned the el capistan, also have owned the Strymon timeline, but my favourit delay that i have 2 of on 2 different pedal boards is the Strymon Volante it's an awesome Pedal and has a nice sounding Reverb as well imo ❤ 🎸

[@woxcooper5004]

Awesome playing!

[@FakeGlasses]

They're all great and any one of them could serve as your go-to delay. That said the DIG on 12bit with modulation is my favorite delay sound. The El Cap is also great.

[@jerahrichard9877]

Great playing!

[@keef4937]

Hi Jack, great informative video. What did you use to get the stereo spread on the mix, was it simply the pedals although I only see one mic in the background or was it added in post? Thanks.

[@harrisfrankou2368]

Do the Deco it's a doubler, I was thinking of two Strymons, the Brig and El Cap but now I'm sold on the Volante

[@massimilianogullini5222]

Hello, great video!!! as a purchase to be placed side by side with my strymon iridium, as the first delay pedal, which one would you recommend and why? as a style I like to range from rock to pop to blues .. Thank you so much !!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Strymon makes my favorite delay and reverb pedals.

[@TimothyPage06]

That opening tone was massive!

[@collmichaels802]

I have a TimeLine and I would love to coax the varied delays heard from the 'lesser' pedals out of it! It's a complex beast!

[@metricdeep8856]

Coll Michaels .....I don’t expect that they are “lesser” pedals. A multi tool is never as good as a dedicated tool.

[@pCeLobster]

@@metricdeep8856 This is correct. The small box Strymons are each better at their specific thing than the Timeline. The Timeline is more for versatility and presets.

[@ransombaggins9301]

Such a great video! Thanks. For a Gilmour-esque tone would I look to the Volante? The El Capistan? Something else? If anyone is aware of any such thing, I would also love to find a list of a few example artists/bands that are associated with each of these types of delays. Thanks!

[@jankicko5655]

well, I have the Volante, and it is the best tape-related delay pedal today. I love Gilmour, his style is the most influential to me. And the Volante can do it very well. But maybe you should look at Boonar by Dwaner Prince, some say that it simulates the drum delay better.

[@jonswain4539]

Hey jack, quick question- when demoing these different sounds, do you have a rough idea of what your going to play, or are you totally improvising on the fly? Gotta say I love you playing man, you play some wicked chord progressions and your phrasing is top notch. Pleasure to listen to bud, really inspiring 👍

[@adamcaveproject8299]

Thanks for the information. I use the Timeline, but for a smaller gig type rig, I wouldn't mind the El Capistan.

[@michaelruiz3167]

For all intents and practical purposes I would have to say the brigadier or el capistan are an excellent choice for getting usable delays sounds in the project studio apart from the timeline. That said my bucket list is on fire because I know I won’t be happy until I obtain a brigadier and a flint to round out my pedal board build. I just hope it will go well with my riverside drive into a soul food front end. Someone let me know if that may bite. Thank you jack for services rendered, your reviews make much better sense than most.

[@drew1841]

Did you ever acquire this combo and if so, how do you like it? I am right now considering a Riverside/Flint/Brigadier setup and would appreciate any feedback or thought on how these would work together. Thanks!

[@michaelruiz3167]

@@drew1841 No I haven’t acquired a Flint yet but now I’m getting by with my current line up and a Boss CE2. The Brigadier is truly a dream delay for me it just does what I expect quickly.

[@harrisfrankou2368]

get an EV5 exp into your Riverside?

[@TheAshkgray]

Nice summary of the Strymon delay pedals. However, in reviewing the Brigadier, you might just have mentioned one of its most obvious advantages over its rivals - its maximum delay time is a whopping 5 seconds!

[@shckltnebay]

The Timeline is 8 sec

[@jmsclbwmn]

And it’s only available in one of the 3 modes. Strymon should have made the full delay time available in all modes, but they wanted to stay true to the design flaws of the originals.

[@blizzbee]

What would you play through a 5-seconds setting?? 🤔🤔

[@XentziS]

What song is that at the start???

[@Lorneplumber]

Nice demo of course Worth pointing out a few things The dig can be warmed up considerably with the second function. It is my favourite These things really come alive when used in stereo. In particular the volante is in another world And I think you miss the deco. Which does other things but offers a fine delay as well

[@lapitch1]

the dig is very underrated..and in stereo what a sound

[@dazfarrell]

Good shout on the Deco

[@rjlane3475]

what are you getting the overdrive sound from? amp? pedal? sounds great!

[@blizzbee]

He said it all in the early part of the video...

[@chicolopez8722]

Pretty cool dude

[@roderickgful]

What guitar are you using?

[@p6x2]

I am going to replace my Deluxe Memory Man with a DIG.

[@amritjanardhanan]

Those old things do seem quite large and fussy. I think a Catalinbread Belle Epoch would do the job pretty well - all it's modes are glorious.

[@p6x2]

@@amritjanardhanan I own a Chandler Digital Stereo Delay, designed to fit in a rack. Some people still tell you it is the best analog sounding digital delay... go figure...

[@chasingtone5748]

Beautiful Axe

[@kamilofrechou2573]

What king of overdrive was used on this review ?

[@ransombaggins9301]

I believe he mentioned The Dude from J. Rockett Audio.

[@theartscope4297]

you did literally 0 justice to the volante... no delay sound came out of it wtf....

[@deanallen927]

Hey! we're over here! Stop looking over there!!! That's annoying as hell. Much needed video though.

[@profile_01]

I'm building an all Strymon board *after I win the lotto*

[@garysmith2983]

Jacky Boy, Uncle Gazza here. I thought The Edge used a memory man, which is analog ?

[@alexisrosalesruiz7334]

Man if you can afford a Xotix guitar, you can afford a Timeline

[@user-ql1pc7pi9x]

I'll never sell my Timeline. There's no need to, as there's nothing better.
